PIPE CONNECTION FOR FLUID-HEATING SYSTMS.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Bc it known that I, Enwaun J. DinioAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipe Connections for Fluid-Heating Systems, of which t-he following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in pipe connections for fluid heating systems and has particular reference to that class of pipe connection or cou )ling utilized particularly in connection with hot water heating systems.

The object of the invention is the providing ot' a compound or divided )ipe connection ada )ted to receive independent fluid intake and fluid return pipe connections having formed therewith a partition extending diametrically .across and longitudinally therein and beyond the mouth of said connection or coupling, said extension being cupped at its end adapted to deflect the intake fluids under pressure into a. pluralityY of fluid ducts or legs in a radiator, and means adapted to receive the return flow of said fluids from said radiator obviating the impedance ot the flow ot' said intake and return fluids, cachot said independent fluid assageways in said connection or couplingl having substantially the same fluid reception capacity.

In' the following is described in connection with the accompanying drawings one enibodiment of the invent-ion, the features thereof being more particularly pointed ont here inafter in the claims.

Tn the drawings, the figure as shown is a longitudinal sectional View of the divided connection or coupling illustrating the manner in which the saine is attached or mounted on a radiatm' which is shown in conventional outline. and turthcr themanner in which the coupling is attached to the fluid intake and return pipe connections.

Similar characters ot` reference indicate similar parts throughout the drawing.

In the drawing` l indicates the conventional showing ot' a fluid heating radiator provided with vertical fluid ducts or legs 2 and the upper horizontal fluid passageway 5l and the lower drainage passageway AlV provided at its inner cud with a reception nipple 5 threaded internally and adapted to rc- Specification of Letters Patent.

thereon an internally threaded shoulder 7 receiving connection 8 on manually controlled valve t) which in turn receives or has attached thereto fluid intake pipe connection 10. Said divided connection or coupling 6 has formed on its lower side an externally threaded nipple 1l adapted to receive coupling head on lluid return pipe connection 13.

14 indicates a gland or partition castor formed with the body 6 extending diametrically across said body longitudinally and beyond the mouth 15 of said divided connection, said extension being cupped at 16 and provided atits top with an overhanging lip 17, the lower wall of said coupling being tapered at 18 to assist in draining the precipitated fluids from said radiator l.

A indicates the approximate line of deflection above which the fluids are deflected by reason of the cupped formation 16 ofthe ortion of gland or partition 14, the beate fluids which are under ressure being forced at all times above sai line of deflection. the axis ot' said object. of illustrating said line heilig to oint out the tact that the deflected fluids wi l not at any time drop below said line. -The natural tendency of the heated fluids is to ascend in a. means of radiation and the s ent or expanded fluids to precipitateor fai in The cupped exten sion ot said gland o r a paratus assisting the natural course of the f nids in this instance. It is essential that the live fluids be driven in the path of a. plurality of the fluid expanand not any individual one as when said fluids are caused to be deflected over a greater area ofthe heating surface in the means of radiation the greater portion of said means ot' radiation will receive the initial heat of the intake fluids.

The operation of the device is as fol lows :-`t'fnen suitably connected n p with the fluid intake fluid return )ipc connection and manually controlled valve operated, the intake fluids under pressure will pass through thepassagcwav above the gland or partition 14 and deflecty hy reason ot' the cupped extension 1G into a plurality of the lluid ex )ansion ducts or legs 2, the spentv or chilled fluids precipitating in the radiator and drained therefrom through the passageway beneath the gland or partition 1.4 to return pipe connection 13.

lt is obrious that the device may be varied.
